1960s French Optalix Radio Repurposed as Bluetooth Speaker

A mid-century Optalix radio that has been thoughtfully repurposed to work as a Bluetooth speaker while keeping its vintage character intact. From the outside, it still looks like a classic period radio with its original cabinet and front details, but it now connects wirelessly to your phone, tablet, or laptop for modern, easy listening.

It runs on a simple 12V power supply and delivers a warm, clear sound that fills a room nicely — great for casual everyday music, background listening, or simply enjoying a bit of nostalgia with a contemporary twist.

The original knobs and buttons remain in place for their authentic look, but they no longer control the unit since it now operates via Bluetooth.

A lovely blend of retro design and modern usability — a piece that feels rooted in the past while still fitting naturally into today’s home.
